London: One session made the difference as India were back with a sniff in the fifth Test at The Oval on Friday. After winning the toss and opting to bat in Alastair Cook’s final game, England got off to a decent start before Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Keaton Jennings.

But Moeen Ali and Cook put the hosts in control with a 73-run partnership to take the game away from India at tea. However, Virat Kohli and co did wonders in the final session to shift the momentum in their favour.

Jasprit Bumrah got the breakthrough with the wicket of Cook before quickly getting rid of Joe Root for a duck. Ishant Sharma then took matters in his own hands and cut through the middle order, leaving the hosts in trouble.

The visitors will want to perform with the same zeal on Saturday as they aim to spoil Cook’s farewell party.

150 UP! Can England cope up after losing a flurry of wickets? Moeen Ali has been there for a while and needs more support from Ben Stokes.

England 134-4 after 66 overs:

WICKET! What a comeback this is turning around to be for India. Bairstow departs for a duck after edging one towards Rishabh Pant.

Three wickets in two overs is a stunning turnaround in the match. Beyond a point, stonewalling. Is counterproductive in the modern 5-day game England realising to their chagrin. Bumrah and Ishant brilliant!

England tightened the screws as they finished at 123-1 at tea on the fifth Test at the Oval on Friday. After losing Keaton Jennings, Moeen Ali and Alastair Cook steered the hosts past the century mark to push Virat Kohli and co on the back foot.

However, India's spirited bowling performance doesn't do justice to the scorecards. They should have a couple of wickets in the session with Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja causing trouble.

England 107-1 after 49 overs:

FIFTY! Alastair Cook becomes the first opener this series to reach a half-century. His 57th overall in Test cricket.

Lunch:
